Review of 'Under A White Sky' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
This is probably one of my last updates on Goodreads. I'm headed over to StoryGraph, an independent, black-owned website that has quite a bit of promise and a really strong recommendation system. Feel free to follow my account over there as it continues to get updates:

As for this book:
There's an amount of insight into the changing of our environments in a way that points to larger-scale issues that are likely to impact our way of life sooner, rather than later. When we hear about climate change and the impending climate catastrophe, we often only think of temperatures rising and some sort of apocalyptic scenario in which we all burn to a crisp. I think this book provides an important amount of context to what's going on now in the world that is directly linked to these changes and how they're only going to be exacerbated without some sort of immediate action. It's a great primer for folks who want to know why climate change and human intervention matters, with numerous visible examples along with responses that are being considered.
